Project Alignment Work within the City of Glendale

Summary:

The North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project is part of Metro’s plan for better transit. This project will connect North Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Eagle Rock, and Pasadena through a new zero-emission BRT service that is faster, more reliable and operates like the best rail lines in the County. The goal is to meet the mobility needs of residents, students and employees with more convenient transit service.

Construction activities in Glendale are anticipated to begin mid-October 2026. Work will take place along Glenoaks Bl, Central Av, and Broadway. This notice describes the expected impacts to drivers and pedestrians while crews build new BRT stations and make improvements to curbs, and sidewalks.
